Commutation, 3 months, §22.50. SCCUCry I'OUud about PatcrSOll is 

romantic, the Passaic Falls being second only to Niagara in 
grandeur. There are many choice drives, and numerous hand- 
some churches, schools, c^^c. The stores and shops of Paterson 
are exceptionally well stocked, and residents of the outlying 
towns on either side — Clifton, Lake View, Garfield, Haw- 
thorne, Ridgewood, <S:c. — find it of great convenience for shop- 
])ing and marketing pur])oses. While Paterson makes no 
]»articular ])rovision for the summer boarder, there are many 
hotels which furnish excellent accommodations to the visitor.

Of the Passaic Falls, both as a prominent factor in the 
manufacturing industries of the city of Paterson and as pos- 
sessing great natural beauty, a recent writer states : " ' The 
Great Falls of the Passaic ' are one of the features of the city. 
The power furnished by them was the original inducement for 
the location of a city at their base. Passaic Falls have long 
been conceded as unmatched for their picturesque surround- 
ings, even as they are undoubtedly unicpie in their configura- 
tion. The Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures in 
Paterson early saw the great ]:)Ower and promise of the Falls 
of Passaic from a manufacturing standpoint, and by a special 
charter, granted by the State of New Jersey, this Society was 
given almost unlimited authority in the direction of establish- 
ing an available water-power and the desired manufiictures." 
Of the changes made at and about the Falls since the Society 
began its operations, the writer continues : " At first a slender 
dam was built, 200 yards higher up stream than the present 
one just above the Falls. -!< >i^ ♦ The present existing 
dam was constructed in 1838-40, of immense blocks of stone, 
bolted together to their rock-bed with powerful clamps of iron. 
The water is thus diverted into an artificial channel constructed 
across the deep ravine and through the rocks, Avhich barely 
permit its passage. From this point it is made to turn in suc- 
cession three tiers of factories, the height of the Fall allowing 
three raceways, the water being used successively that number 
of times, after which it is once more discharged into the river, 
at a distance of scarcely half a mile from the j^oint of leav- 
ing it." 

" The Great Falls of the Passaic, or ' Passaich,' as it was 
called in the early days, have the extraordinary water-shed 
of over 800 square miles. The minimum supply for mill 



13 

purposes in a dry season is fifty square feet, the average flow, 
of course, being vastly greater. The aggregate horse-power 
is 2640. Much the greater portion of the horse-power still 
remains the property of the Society for P^stablishing Useful 
Manufactures."

IN THE EAMAPO VALLEY. 

At SiifFeru the Erie swings into the Raniapo Valley, through 
a narrow defile. For fifteen miles the valley extends, moun- 
tain-bound, and at times it is of barely sufficient width to 
allow the passage, side by side, of the river, the historic post 
road, and the Erie, wliile again it will widen out into a dell 
or ravine which marks the course of a mountain rill or tor- 
rent. Here and there, too, the mountains recede, and the val- 
ley spreads itself into a fertile plain, and in these occasional 
plateaus nestle, in the order named, the little hamlets of Hill- 
burn, Ramapo, Sterlington, Sloatsburg, Tuxedo Park, South- 
fields, and Arden. The river itself is a panorama of rare 
beauty. Its headwaters are in a series of mountain springs 
and lakes, and in its course through the valley it first meanders 
across the flat lands, then sinks into a narrow, deep bowl, to 
widen presently into a placid lake, and finally, before its exit 
into the level country beyond the valley, it tumbles over a 
ledge of rocks, and falls, a seething, roaring mass, to its rocky 
bed full fifty feet below. In the quiet portions the boating is 
charming ; the banks now and then open into snug grottoes 
and dells, down which come sparkling, splashing streams from 
tlie rock-liound springs above, while the dense overhanging 
foliage affords a refreshing shade, and there are many sheltered 
pools where the bathing is delightful. The river, as well as 
the mountain lakes from which it springs, is populous with 
game fish, and in the wooded mountains small game of every 
variety is plentiful, insuring to the visitor the best of sport 
with rod or gun. 

The Ramapo country is in every way chai-ming, and in the 
way of convenient and well-a[)])ointed retreats, eminently well 
arranged for the accommodation of the sununer visitor.

AMONG THE HUDSON HIGHLANDS, 

VIA NEWBURGH SHORT CUT. 

Some of the most beautiful and healthful country on the 
line of the Erie is found along the " Short Cut," which extends 
from Turners to Newburgh, the greater part of the way hug- 
ging the base of a lofty wall of mountains. This range is cut 
Avith deep glens and valleys, and in its rocky crests it holds 
many a shimmering lake. Aside from the delightful scenery 
of the highland region and the historic interest attached to it, 
the experience of years has demonstrated the fact that the air 
\vhich circulates among these hills and valleys is possessed of 
curative j^roperties that render the existence of pulmonary 
and bronchial affections next to an impossibility. From the 
Schunenumk Kange to the Cornwall Hills, it is stated that 
there is a well-defined line which marks the boundaries of this 
rare mountain atmosphere, and that the area of its presence is 
within tlie mountain elevations just mentioned. There are 
innumerable instances of invalids being restored to ro1)ust 
health by a few seasons spent in this natural sanitarium.

and there is no place of more interest to the antiquarian. 
The ruins of the famous " Temple of Virtue," erected near 
the village by Washington, in 1782, are still to be seen. 
During the Revolution muskets and bayonets for the army 
were made at a forge near the town. In 1782-3 Generals 
Green and Knox had their headquarters at John Ellison's, 
while Lafayette was quartered at AVilliam Ellison's stone 
mansion, still standing. Four miles west of the town is 
Washington Square, Avhere General Clinton was quartered 
with IMrs. Fall. These are a feAV of the many historic inci- 
cidents that add to the charm of New Windsor.

Commutation, 3 months, $50. of the HudsOU, is aloUC SUmCieut tO 

give wide reputation to tlie town. To its Revolutionary as- 
sociations, however, is due the fact that Newburgh is a place 
dear to every American heart. On an eminence overlooking 
the broad expanse of the bay is the old Hasbrouck Mansion, 
occupied by Washington as headquarters in 1782-83. The 
location of this old building is one of the most beautiful on 
the river. The eye takes in at a glance the Highlands, the 
villages in Dutchess County, and the grand surroundings of 
the more distant landscape. Numerous mountain glens meet 
the eye in the elevated masses on every hand. To the south, 
Butter Hill, or Storm King, as it is now called, looms up like 
a grim sentinel, while to the north the high promontory of 



57 

the Dans Kammer, old in legend, stands out against the sky 
in bold relief. At the southern entrance to the bay is the 
bare and hoary P()lli})el() Island, while the crests of the Bea- 
con Hills recall with vividness the days when their watchfires 
signaled the patriot bands encamped within sight of them. 
This wonderful i)icture invariably bids the spectator pause on 
the very threshold of the historic mansion to drink in the 
beauties of the scene. In this old building AVashington ma- 
tured the plans which led to the final triumph of the Ameri- 
can arms, and it is in nearly the same condition as when the 
Father of his Country left it after the war was over. It is 
filled with the rarest relics of the early days, and is become 
the shrine .of patriotism to the whole people of the nation, 
and is daily visited by hundreds. Unsurpassed boating and 
fishing in the bay. Orange Lake, 6 miles distant ; bass and 
pickerel. Fine drives to Cornwall, West Point, and all places 
in the Highlands. Churches of all denominations.

PIKE COUNTY, PA. Jervis, over a road as hard as cem- 

95 miles from New York. eut and woiiderfiilly smootli, run- 

7 miles from Port Jervis. . , , , pip i 

2 stages from Port Jervis week days. Hing aioilg the baSC 01 a loitj and 
2 stages to Port Jervis week days. • -j. p j_ • 

Stage fare, day time, 50 cents. ' precipitous range of mountains, 

stage fare, night time, 75 cents. huUgS the tOUrist tO the viUage of 

Milford, the favorite sinnmei- home of hundreds of city people. 
Milford lies on a broad plateau, 200 feet above the Delaware 
Kiver, commanding a view up the valley that is indescribably 
beautiful, taking in the mountains, vales, plains, and forests of 
three States — the Delaware Avinding through the landscape 
and visible for miles. 

High hills surround the village on three sides, over which 
shaded roads lead to the many interesting points in the vicinity. 
The streets of the village are broad and free from dust, and 



75 

are bordered by splendid maple trees. There are uo pools of 
standing or stagnant ^vater, marshes, nor low lands anywhere 
in the vicinity of the place. There are four churches — Pres- 
byterian, Episcopal, ^lethodist, and Catholic. 

A quarter of a mile from the village, and reached by a 
romantic footpath, is the " Knob," a bold mountain peak 
which rises nearly 1000 feet above the place; its summit af- 
fords a favorite outlook with summer boarders, as the country 
for forty miles around is brought beneath the gaze. A stretch 
of meadow slopes from the base of the Knob to the Sawkill 
Creek, which runs between the mountain and the village, and, 
tumbling over an ancient dam, winds about in the Glen — a 
place of stately pines, picturesque islands, isolated walks and 
nooks among overhanging rocks, wooded knolls, miniature 
water- falls — a place of perpetual shade. No hotel or board- 
ing house in JNIilford is more than ten minutes' walk from this 
charming spot. A mile from Milford are the Sawkill Falls, 
famed for their surroundings, which are weird in the extreme. 

A mile below Milford begin the Clifls, a wall of perpen- 
dicular rock two miles in length, towering 800 feet above the 
road which passes down the valley at its feet. The Cliffs are 
easy of access by a mountain road, which continues along their 
summit, from which elevation a great part of New York, New 
Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the Catskills, the Blue Kidge, and 
the Kittatinny jNlountains, with their numerous peaks and gaps 
are in plain view. Three miles below Milford, reached either 
by the river road or a mountain road in the interior, are the 
Falls of the Raymondskill, the surroundings of which are the 
wild woods and the towering hills— the very home of solitude. 

The Delaware Kiver, for a mile in front of Milford, widens 
into a still, deep, eddying body of water, more like a lake than 



76 

a river. A finer place for boating or fishing does not exist. 
During the black bass season, which opens July 1, and con- 
tinues through the year,- this part of the river is covered with 
the boats of those who love this most exciting sport, and the 
scene is picturesque and enlivening. Sportsmen will find at- 
tendants and boats at any time in Milford. 

There are several mountain lakes of great beauty in the 
vicinity of Milford, all stocked with pickerel and other choice 
fish. Among these lakes are the Sawkill, Little and Big 
Brink, the two Log Taverns, and the two Walker ponds. 
Excursions to these lakes are popular pastimes during the 
summer season. 

Midway between the magnificent surroundings of Ding- 
man's — soon to be described — and those of Milford is Cona- 
shaugh Spring, on the beautiful Conashaugh Brook, and in a 
valley that is simply charming. A step or two from the brook, 
and perpetually shaded by the trees that stand thickly about, 
is the Conashaugh Spring, a pool of the coldest, purest, crys- 
tal water, bubbling out of the earth through sand white as 
snow. Three ragged mountain peaks rise in the immediate vi- 
cinity — one at least 800 feet high — cone shaped and covered 
with forest trees, shutting in the spot as by a wall, and con- 
signing it to seclusion that is its greatest charm.

as a rule. ^f uiouiitaiiis that lioms it about is 

traversed by streams of considerable size, which, rising in the 
still higher lands of the " back country," are literally hurled 
aud tumbled over precipices and obtruding rocks, from the 
time they leave the parent springs until they reach the level 
of the valley, over a thousand feet below. They have worn 
deep ravines and curious chambers in the rocks ; hollowed out, 
by continuous falling, basins where the waters seethe and boil, 
and flow through chasms to the bottom of which the sun has 
never cast a beam. In the vicinity of Dingman's Ferry six 
of these streams thunder down the mountain. The Dingman 
Creek and Adam's Creek are particularly prolific in these 
grand works of nature. Their cataracts and glens and gorges 
annually furnish subjects to both poet and |)ainter. The 
Factory Falls, Fulmer Falls, High Falls and Silver-Thread 
Falls, on the former stream, are equal to any in the Catskills. 
High Falls is a wild reach of stream two hundred feet in ex- 
tent — a high perpendicular leap, then a gathering of the 
waters, and then a thundering plunge down the slanting but 
angular face of the rocks. Factory Falls is a tumultuous 
dropping of the waters of the creek wrought to their utmost 
fury by sharp projecting rocks and frequent precipices, until 
they writhe and contort themselves into such shapes as have 
gained them the name of Maniac Waters. Fulmer Falls are 
a series of most picturesque cataracts. The Silver-Thread 
Fall is the crowning beauty of these mountain torrents. It 



80 

is a thread of water but a few feet wide, but it comes with one 
continuous fall of one hundred and fifty feet down the face of 
the mountain, every droj^ of water being lashed into the 
whitest foam. Standing at the side of the troubled pool which 
receives the waters after their plunge, the visitor may look up 
along the course of the Silver Thread, and see a patch of blue 
sky at the farther end. The falls on Dingman Creek are 
within from one to three miles of the High Falls House, the 
proprietor of which has rendered them easy of access, they 
having formerly been reached with great difficulty. Adam's 
Creek, on which there are a still greater number of natural 
curiosities, is a mile from Dingman's Ferry. Like Dingman 
and the other creeks in this vicinity, it is a famous trout 
stream, and a favorite resort of many persons prominent in 
letters and art. 

The Bushkill Falls are thirteen miles from Dingman's ; the 
Delaware Water Gap twenty-five. Conveyances are furnished 
at Dingman's for visiting all these attractions in the valley.

rolling land, and its residences and private grounds are ex- 
tremely attractive. High hills rise on every side, from which 
extensive views of the rugged outlying country may be en- 
joyed. The atmosphere is pure and bracing, and fevers of any 
kind never originate in this region. The air is peculiarly 
favorable to asthmatics and persons afflicted with kindred dis-

heat never interferes with sleep, and neither dampness nor fog 
render evening or morning disagreeable. 

There are trout streams in the vicinity, and the best of

1 stage to Monticello Sundays. Qq^q of ^J^g f^j-^gg^ yig^yg [j^ the 

country are met with between White Lake and Monticello. 
White Lake Village has its name from the large and beautiful 
sheet of water that lies at the feet of the mountains lifting up 
their heads about it. The lake is of great depth and purity, 
aud is really one immense spring of living water. It formerly 
abounded in trout of a size rarely attained by that species of 
fish, it being on record that they have been caught in the lake 
weighing nearly nine pounds. Some years ago, however, 
pickerel were placed in these waters, and they exterminated 
the trout. To compensate for the loss of the latter, the lake 
was subsequently stocked with black bass from Lake George, 
and the favorite sport of black bass fishing is now one of the 
great attractions of White Lake. Bass weighing five and six 
pounds are frequently taken. 

As long ago as 1846 White Lake was a popular summer 
resort, and a hotel was erected for the especial accommodation 
of city guests. The natural attractions of the place, together 
with its wonderful health fulness, have drawn people to it 
annually in increased numbers, until to-day few resorts equal 
it in the number and high character of its boarding houses. 
From any of the near by eminences the whole scope of this 
beautiful section is brought beneath the gaze. The prominent 
features of the near-by landscape are the circling lake and the 
sloping front of Mount Wilder, which rises from the south 
shore to an altitude of 800 feet above the water. 



89 

The outlying country is much of it deep forest, where deer 
and other wild game still abound. In fact, the sojourner at 
White Lake finds the advantage of civilization and the charm 
of the vast wilderness combining to make the place unlike 
any other resort of its class in the country, and one that it takes 
more than a single season to " do " properly and satisfactorily. 
Boats, fishing tackle, &c., are furnished guests by all hotels 
and boarding houses. They also run carriages to and from 
Monticello trains during the season. There are Presbyterian 
and Reformed churches at White Lake, and a Methodist 
church at Mongaup Valley, a drive of four miles.

gion of Pike and Wayne Counties, Pa., and Sullivan County, 
N. Y. The attractions of this place are its pure air, its beau- 
tiful scenery, its fishing, its boating, and the general wildness 
that pervades the surroundings. Roads climb the surround- 
ing hills, and lead to many a point of interest. 

The " Westcolang Lake and Delaware River Park Assso- 
ciation" has about four thousand five hundred acres of land 
located in Lackawaxen Township, Pike County, Pa., in the 
heart of the famous Pike County fishing and hunting region. 

The object of the association is to keep this large and valu- 
able tract as a game and fish preserve and private park. It 
has a large front on the Delaw^are River, and is unexcelled 
for the purposes to w^hich it has been appropriated. 

Another great advantage is its accessibility ; Lackaw^axen, 
a station on the main line of the Erie Railway, being within 
two miles of the park. 

Westcolang Lake and Creek, included in this property, are 
noted for pickerel, black bass, and trout fishing; Spruce

Swamp, in the western part of the preserve, is the resort of 
wiki fowh Extending for nearly a mile along Westcolang 
Creek is a glen rivaling in magnificence Shohola and Glen 
Onoko. This tract might well be called the " Hunter's Para- 
dise," as game of all kinds is found in abundance. 

A new club house is proposed in the near future and will 
be built upon a bluff several hundred feet above the Delaware 
Kiver. 

Half-way between Lackawaxen and Shohola is Panther 
Brook, with its charming glen and cataract, and its trout. A 
mile above the station is Lord's Brook, which forms a number 
of handsome falls a short distance back in the Avoods, and 
adds its quota of trout to the demand of the neighborhood. 
On the top of the ridge across the Delaware, a mile from Lack- 
awaxen, is Mountain Lake, a large sheet of crystal water, well- 
stocked with pickerel. Beyond the crag that stands at the 
junction of the Delaware and Lackawaxen Valleys is Wesco- 
line Lake, also famous for pickerel. Taylor's Brook is five 
miles distant; the Shohola fishing grounds, six; Beaver 
Brook, three miles ; Blooming Grove, and its streams, lake, 
and hunting grounds, twelve miles, over a good road. Deer, 
bear, partridge, woodcock ; bass, trout, pickerel, eels, cat-fish. 
No mosquitoes or malaria. The town has a population of 
200. Good public schools, a Methodist and a Baptist church, 
and a well-stocked general store.

with churches of various denominations, good public school, 
and several well-stocked stores. Narrowsburg gets its name 
from the Narrows in the Delaware, just above the station. 
Below the Narrows the river widens into what is known as 
Big Eddy, one of the broadest places on the stream, as well 
as the deepest above tide-water. The visitor who seeks the 
opportunity for boating that Big Eddy offers will doubtless be 
struck with the number of transparent bubbles he sees float- 
ing on or constantly rising to the surface. These bubbles are 
formed by an inflammable gas that arises from the bottom of 
the river ; it also appears in the sand along the shore, and may 
be ignited, when it burns for a few seconds with a bright flame. 
Narrowsburg is in the midst of such scenery as has already

to White Lake being but fourteen miles, over a good road, 
and one rich in fine scenery. The population is about 600, 
with three public schools and a Methodist, a Baptist, and a 
Presbyterian church, with well-stocked general stores. The 
location of Cochecton is well calculated to make it a popular 
summer retreat. The valley here is very wide, the Upper 
Delaware having nowhere such an extent of fertile plain.

Cochecton village is neat and cosy, and there is an air of pas- 
toral ease about it that at once attracts the visitor. 

There are several fine lakes in the mountains, within four 
miles of the station, affording both pickerel and trout fishing. 
Lake Huntington and Mitchell Lake, on the New York side, 
are noted places, with good roads leading to them from the 
station. Among the trout streams are Calkins' Brook, Bush's 
Creek, Tyler Brook, Beaver Dam Creek, and Mitchell Brook, 
all near at hand. 

The Delaw^are River is crossed at Cochecton by a fine 
bridge. Three miles below Cochecton, Calkins' Creek comes 
into the Delaware on the Pennsylvania side. Here, in a ro- 
mantic spot, is the neat village of Milanville. 

Three miles from Cochecton, in Wayne County, and beyond 
the pretty village of Damascus, wdiich lies along the river and 
climbs the rising ground oj^posite Cochecton, is the village of 
Tyler Hill, a collection of beautiful residences. The surround- 
ings of this elevated vicinity are among the attractions of 
Cochecton. The visitor has before him the beautiful country 
up and down the Delaware ; the rolling land to the westw^ard, 
wdtli many high mountain peaks looking down into fertile val- 
leys, and intervening stretches of wood and farm. The distant 
mountains of Sullivan County bound the river on the east.

Round trip, ^^.7o. aiid shops, which are always well 

stocked. It is the centre of one of 
the famous trout regions of the Delaware Valley. The Calli- 
coon Creek, which enters the Delaware a short distance below 
the station, threads the back wilderness and a splendid farm- 
ing section. Along its entire course, from the hills on either 
side, tributary streams flow into it at short intervals. The main 
stream and its feeders are natural trout creeks, and all the 
season long they afford royal sport to the angler. All these 



106 

brooks are within five miles of the station. On the Pennsyl- 
vania side of the river is Hollister Creek. For two miles from 
the river this creek flows through a wild and narrow gorge, 
and seeks the level of the river by a series of wonderful water- 
falls. The borders of the creek are thickly grown with rhodo- 
dendrons, and the early summer fills the glen with bands of 
pink-tinted bloom. 

Numerous lakes cluster in the hills on both sides of the 
river, the famous Bethel township lakes, in Sullivan County, 
being within easy reach. In Wayne County, Galilee Lake, 
Duck Harbor, Swago Lake and others are near and convenient 
of access. Bass, pickerel, and perch fishing are attractions of 
these waters. No malaria or mosquitoes.

run nearly parallel across Delaware County, being divided by 
a ridge of mountains eleven miles wide, and meet around the 
base of a great dome-like hill at Hancock. This spot was 
called She-haw-ken by the Indiaus, which meaus " where the 
waters meet." The village here was formerly called by that 
name. Hancock, the present village, is surrounded by the 
loftiest elevations of the Delaware Highlands, all of which are 



115 

heavily wooded. At no point along the river is the scenery 
more grand. Hancock is a neat and beautifully located place, 
and is the centre of the great lumber region of the upper Del- 
aware. The population of the town is about 4000, and of the 
village about 1000. There is an excellent graded public 
school with five teachers, numerous churches of every denom- 
ination, and stores and shops of all kinds. 

Hancock is literally surrounded by trout streams, there 
being no less than eleven within convenient reach. Cadosia, 
Reeds, Sands, Shehawken, Trout, Pease Eddy, and Tyler 
Creeks are among them. The Beaver Kill is only twelve 
miles distant. The scenery on and about these streams is 
grand — falls, glens, and wild ravines being met with at short 
intervals. Hancock is one of the most popular mountain 
resorts in the country. There are many fine lakes in the 
vicinity. Deer, bear, partridge ; black bass in the Delaware. 
Good livery accommodations.

outside ' God's acres,' I have failed to find it ;" and he adds : 
" The mountain road to the lake is picturesque enough to lead 
to Paradise."

has a population of 400, good public 
schools, a Methodist church, and good general stores. Near 
Millville is the princely domain of the Blooming Grove Park 
Association. The property of the Association consists of 12,000 
acres of wild mountain and valley lands, well adapted for the 
rearing and preservation of game. The region is as romantic 
and healthy as the Adirondacks, and it is destined to be- 
come as great a resort for summer idlers as the wilderness 
immortalized by the pen of Murray. Within its boundaries 
there are several miles of trout streams and eight beautiful 
lakes stocked with black bass and other fish. On the high 
bank of the clearest and fairest of this chain of lakes a club- 
house has been built, and furnished with accommodations for 
eighty people. The point is 1500 feet above tide-water, and 
it is free from malaria and mosquitoes. The association is dual 
in character. It admits women to all of its privileges. The 
anglers and hunters take their wives and children into the 
woods with them. From the balconies of the club-house a 
magnificent view is obtained ; the eye wanders over lakes and 
hills, and in the dim distance rests upon the tops of the Catskill 
Mountains. Seven hundred acres of the forest have been 



121 

enclosed with stone and wire fence, and within it elk, deer, 
and other game are bred. The shooting in Blooming Grove 
Park consists of deer, black bear, woodcock, ruffed grouse, 
hares, rabbits, ducks, and snipe. The spot is so attractive and 
so easy of access that it cannot fail to grow in popularity. 
Tink, Big and Little Gorilla, Knob, White Deer, and Jones 
Lakes are within a radius of seven miles. Several picturesque 
waterfalls near. Livery may be had at Millville, where there 
are also first-class hotel accommodations.

RrncAii^riS'''^"""^^^ tions to the tourist. All around 

Family Commutation, 50 trips, 1697.50. Hawlcy the sportsmau will find the 
finest of lakes and streams and noted game haunts. The 
Wallenpaupack River, its head-waters interlocking with those 
of the Lehigh far back in the Pocono Wilderness, enters the 
Lackavvaxen at Hawley. Its flow, until it reaches within a 
mile and a half of that place, is deep and sluggish. At the 
point named a series of the most magnificent falls commences. 
The first plunge of the water is over a precipice of seventy-five 
feet, and from there on to the last fall, a half mile above its 
mouth, the descent of the stream is two hundred and fifty feet. 
The grand fall, a portion of it visible from the railroad, but 
mostly hidden by a cluster of mills and factories, is about eighty 
feet high and fifty in width, the ledge over which it thunders 
having been worn in horse-shoe form. There are good schools, 
both public and private ; churches of various denominations, 
and shops and stores of every variety, all carrying full lines 
of goods. The variety of fish and game about here is large, 
and consists of trout, bass, and pickerel ; deer, bear, fox, par- 
tridge, rabbits. Hawley is also the station for Blooming Grove 
Park. Good hotels and livery. Jones Lake, a famous picnic 
resort, and a beautiful sheet of water, is but six miles distant. 
It has two elegant summer hotels located on its shore. 

From Hawley the Erie and Wyoming Valley Railroad ex- 
tends through the romantic region lying between the Lack- 
awaxen, Lackawanna, and Wyoming Valleys. The Moosic 
Mountains, a spur of the Alleghenies, and one of the loftiest 



128 

mountain chains in the State, offer great attractions to the 
summer sojourner. There are many streams, waterfalls, and 
lakes. The country is densely wooded. The sportsman will 
find ample opportunity along this branch of the Erie for the 
exercise of his skill with both rod and gun.

the high hills, there being no motive power perceptible to the 
tourist. At one point an elevation of 2000 feet above tide is 
reached. The ride is exhilarating, grand, indescribable, and 
hundreds of tourists enjoy it daily during the summer and 
autumn months. The Honesdale livery accommodations are 
excellent. 

Honesdale is situated between high hills, on a plain through 
which two romantic mountain streams flow, uniting in the 
village and forming the Lackawaxen River. There are two 
wide basins where the streams unite, and the water is formed 
into the most picturesque lakes. From the eastern shore of 
one of these. Lake Dyberry, a solid ledge of serried and 
moss-grown slate rock rises almost sheer to the height of 
nearly 400 feet. The village itself is 800 feet above the sea- 
level. 

The New York Tribune, in its issue of April 17th, 1885, 
speaks as follows of Honesdale : " Philip Hone, who was 
probably the courtliest mayor New York ever had, was the 
first president of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company. 
The beautiful village that sprung from the woods at the head 
of the canal in Wayne County, Pa., near the coal mines, was 
called Honesdale in his honor. In the summer of 1844, Philip 
Hone, John Jacob Astor, and other eminent gentlemen inter- 
ested in the canal, invited Washington Irving to join them in 
a junketing trip from New York to Rondout, and then by 
private packet from that place up the canal to Honesdale. A 
boat was fitted up in the most elegant manner to carry them." 
The trip was described in a letter from Irving to his sister in 
glowing terms. This beautiful blending of rock, lake, and 
stream elicited many expressions of delight from him, and he 
insisted on scaling the rocky height in order to study the 



126 

surrounding scenery. The entire company climbed to the sum- 
mit by a circuitous route. The delight of Irving was so great 
when he had reached the summit — from which the country 
for a hundred miles around is spread beneath the eye — that 
Philip Hone insisted that the ledge be known as Irving Cliif, 
and that Washington Irving christen it as such. This he did 
by breaking a bottle of champagne on the rock. A maple- 
bordered road extending along the base of the cliff, between it 
and the water, Irving named Lady wood Lane, a name it bears 
to this day. Honesdale has a population of 7000, many good 
schools and churches of the various denominations, also good 
stores and shops of all kinds.

and Nyack, the local attractions of the town site itself are ex-

which are obtained from some of the more elevated portions of 
the town, are unexcelled anywhere, and few portions of the 
country afford greater attractions to lovers of the beautiful.

Piermont has a population of about 1600. There are four 
good schools, two public and two private, and four churches — a 
Methodist, a Baptist, a Catholic, and a Dutch Reformed — and 
good stores well stocked. A plentiful supply of pure water is 
obtained from both springs and w^ells. The town is naturally 
drained and is exceptionally healthy, chills and malaria being 
unknown in the vicinity. There is splendid fishing, both in 
the river and in the mountain streams which wind around 
among the hills, and there is good hunting in season. The 
celebrated Rockland Lake is near at hand, and the road lead- 
ing to it affords one of the most enjoyable of the myriad of 
romantic drives Avhich are common to the neighborhood. There 
are also many delightful w^alks, and the Tappan Zee presents 
a choice spot for bathing and boating in the summer, and for 
ice yachting and skating in winter.

and surrounded by forest-covered hills among which meander 
romantic streams, Sparkill is not only topographically beau- 
tiful, but the architectural beauty of her residences, and the 
neat and attractive appearance of the grounds which surround 
them, all combine to render this one of the most charming of 
inland villages, and a choice spot for summer residence. 

Within the northern boundary of the town is a lofty hill 
called Mount Nebo, a delightfully romantic locality, with 
moss and lichen-covered rocks and ledges, open glades car- 
peted with velvet grass, sequestered glens and miniature val- 
leys — all scattered about in the midst of a garniture of prime- 
val forest of noble growth. It is here that one of the most 
picturesquely beautiful of all "God's acres" is laid out — 
Kockland Cemetery. From the top of Mount Nebo a truly 
magnificent view of the surrounding country is to be had. 
The picture thus spread out to view is limited only by the 
waters of Long Island Sound, the Atlantic Ocean, the Staten 
Island hills, the hazy blue of the Pennsylvania mountains 
and the Alleghenies, tlie Ramapo range, the Hudson High- 
lands and the Catskills, and comprehends the entire diversi- 
fied landscape which lies within these boundaries ; and the 
view from the crest of the Palisade ridge, a short mile distant, 
is equally fine. 

There are any number of fine drives over clean, hard, broad 



130 

roads to })leasant local resorts, and there are enjoyable walks 
in every direction. The neighboring streams are well stocked 
with game fish of every variety, and there is excellent sport 
for the hunter among the hills or along the creek bottoms. 
Health has its home in this region, and chills are unknown. 
The air is pure and salubrious, and beneficial to invalids and 
those to whom the climate nearer the salt water seems harsh 
and unfriendly. The town itself has a natural drainage which 
is simply perfect, and an abundance of pure cold water. 
Population, 500; good public schools. There is one church 
— an Episcopalian — and good general stores.

Named after New York's mayor; 
but three-quarters of a mile removed 
from Greenwood Lake. Located 
in the midst of a primeval forest? 
with numerous small streams, Hew- 
itt offers many attractions to the 
sportsman and also to those who 
desire a quiet, retired resting-place for the summer within 
easy access of the great metropolis. The hunting is all that 
could be asked, and in their season, grouse, partridge, and 
squirrels, as well as larger game, may be found here in abun- 
dance. GreeuAvood Lake has long been known as a good 
fishing-ground, and being so near, the sojourner at Hewitt 
finds it but a pleasant ramble to this beautiful sheet of water, 
w^here fine strings of black bass and pickerel reward the eflTorts 



142 

of the disciples of Izaak Walton, and in the streams close at 
hand, " speckled beauties " invite the fisherman's skill. Pop- 
ulation, 500. Two good public schools ; Methodist and Pres- 
byterian churches ; three general stores, well stocked.

Commutation, 3 months, $65. partly in Passaic County, N. J., in 

the midst of a primeval forest, and surrounded by towering 
hills and mountains, this " Loch Katrine of the American 
Trosach8 " presents scenic attractions of no mean order ; and, 
with its surroundings and appointments, possesses unrivaled 
attractions to those who seek rest, health, or recreation in the 
midst of rural beauty. 

x'he lake itself is a thousand feet above tide-water, and its 
waters are deep, clear, and cold — prime requisites for the com- 
fort and perfect development of its finny inhabitants ; and it has 
always been held in high esteem as a superior fishing ground. 
Here the angler will find game fish of every variety — bass, 
pike, and pickerel being the most prominent. 

For the accommodation and entertainment of visitors, there 
are several well-appointed hotels, located at convenient inter- 
vals on most favorable and attractive sites along the shores of 



144 

the lake, and the transient or permanent visitor will find every 
accommodation and convenience, and at moderate cost ; 
while hunting or fishing parties who desire to bring their own 
equipage, and try a season of " roughing it," will find along 
the shores, or upon the wooded islands in the lake, any 
number of choice spots especially adapted to. camping out. 
He who can stop in this charming region for the season, 
or for a few days only, will discover ample occupation for 
many an idle hour in whichever direction his fimcy may lead 
him. Here, at the lake itself, he will find every facility for 
rowing, sailing, fishing, and bathing ; and in the adjacent 
mountains, easily reached by quiet, shaded pathways, are 
many romantic ravines and dells, their rocky walls garnished 
with beautiful mosses, ferns, and wild flowers. Though near 
at hand, these mountain wilds are so sequestered that they 
offer a safe brooding place for the game birds, and almost at 
every turn the visitor Avill "flush" a covey of quail or a 
mother partridge and her family, while the song of the wild 
bird greets him at every hand. 

There are many pleasant drives about Greenwood Lake,, 
the most interesting, perhaps, being to Point Peter, an eleva- 
tion of the Bellevale Mountain, and a famous point of obser-^,. 
vation on the Trosachs excursion route, and to Sterling Lake, 
a beautiful body of water located in a deep basin surrounded 
by high mountains. Take it all in all, there are few places of 
resort within convenient reach of New York that offer such a 
variety of attractions to the j^leasure seeker, and the time is 
not far distant when it will be one of the most thoroughly 
visited resorts on the continent. The town has a population 
of 600, two good schools, one public and one private ; a Meth- 
odist and a Union church, and two good general stores.

WARWICK WOODLANDS, 

The property of the Greenwood Lake Improvement Company, 
is situated on the woodhmd of Greenwood Lake, and occupies 
one of the choicest sites on the lake. This property, wliich 
comprises some eight hundred and fifty acres, witli a lake 
frontage of nearly three miles, has been laid out in desirable 
building lots, which are rapidly being secured for summer 
villas and cottages; and is now a model summer village. 
Within less than an hour's walk from this j^ortion of the lake, 
reached by a wildly picturesque ramble around the face of 
the mountain overlooking the lake, is a miniature glen situ- 
ated in the midst of a timber growth so dense as to shut out 
almost entirely the rays of the sun, and give to the spot a twi- 
light shade that is enchantingly weird. Through a rift in the 
rock splashes and tumbles a mountain stream in a series of 
rapids, cascades, and waterfiills, which, though diminutive in 
size, help to form a picture exceptionally romantic and beau- 
tiful, and well worth a visit. On a w^ell-wooded plateau which 
here marks the base of the mountain, is the Frank Forester 
House and the elegant club-house of the Greenwood Lake 
Association ; and near at hand are several handsome cottages, 
the property of certain members of the association.

deuces and elaborate grounds give 
evidence of a comfortable and cultured community. The 



147 

town has a natural drainage which has been so improved by 
art that its sanitary condition is perfect, and this, together with 
the pure mountain air and sahibrious climate, combines to 
render the entire locality the home of health. 

One of the most enjoyable features of this delightful place is 
Llewellyn Park, an enclosure of some 800 acres, and the home 
of a number of families whose elaborate residences, embow- 
ered in the midst of a collection of rare trees, plants, and 
flowers, are among the handsomest in the city. There are any 
number of enjoyable drives in every direction, and from the 
more elevated portions of the town delightful views are ob- 
tained, but the crowning glory of the landscape is })resented 
by the outlook from Eagle Eock. This is a lofty hill, 600 
feet in height, and the view obtained from the summit is one 
the visitor will never forget. The population of Orange is 
45,000 ; there are churches of every denomination, a splendid 
public school system, also excellent private schools, and shops 
and stores of every variety. 

Between "The Oranges" and New York a greatly increased 
train service has been established via the New York and 
Greenwood Lake Railway, nineteen trains being run each 
way on week days, twelve of them express trains making no 
stops on Main Line, and four trains each way on Sundays. 
These trains are unsurpassed for elegance of appointments, 
the coaches are new^ and of artistic design, the locomotives are 
of the latest approved pattern for burning hard coal, and the 
entire equipment comprises all the modern appliances essential 
to safety, speed, and comfort. 

In addition to all this, passengers can purchase single-trip 
or excursion tickets, at rates quoted above, between Orange 
and New York, which include, without extra charge, the street 



148 

car fare on the Orange Cross-Town Street Railway (from Scot- 
land Street, via Central Avenue, Cone and Day Streets, to or
